How to successfully raise orphan kittens and keep them healthy?

Hi and thanks for using PetCoach! Sorry to hear about Baby. Raising orphan kittens can be challenging and rewarding. You can safely take a towel dampened with warm water and wipe it off then dry it thoroughly. For other information please consult the following https://www.alleycat.org/community-cat-care/neonatal-kittens/ http://www.vin.com/members/cms/project/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=21&catId=69&id=6718303&ind=54&objTypeID=10 You must take on the role of the queen or mother cat so education is key to learn about husbandry, nutrition, environmental needs, etc. Good luck with Baby.

Unfortunately the babies are still young so if mom will not feed them then they will depend on you. The best food is KMR (kitten milk replacer). You should be able to find it online. You can also purchase a nurser bottle. If mom is also not keeping them clean or stimulating urination/defecation this is important as well. I have attached an extensive link that gives a lot of helpful information about raising orphan kittens. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petcoach! www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.petcoach.co/amp/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens

First, if one of the kittens has an injury to the umbilical cord it is best to seek veterinary care to ensure it doesn't become infected or need additional treatment. Second, it may be you are not feeding the kittens often enough which is why they are crying and starving by the time you do. It is best to feed smaller meals more often than one large meal as it will prevent aspiration and keep the kittens full in between meals. You also want to make sure they are on their bellies and not their backs when nursing to avoid aspirating milk.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. This article on orphaned kitten care will provide you with details on how much/when to feed and other questions you may have about orphan kittens: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens/

If you're unsure how to care for orphaned kittens, contacting your local humane society is a good first step as they often have programs to help foster parents learn how to raise kittens and can provide services such as food and medical care for the kittens. I'm also including an article on orphaned kittens that may help you. Most kittens this young will still need help with stimulation to go potty, however if they still do not go potty or seem ill or in discomfort, vet care is best. https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-raise-orphan-kittens/

Unfortunately you need to find extra help for him. Usually puppies of that age need to eat every 2 hours at least. Contact your local veterinarian as they may be able to give you the number of a local pet carer, a nurse or veterinary technician who is able and willing to help you for a nominal fee (there is always someone!). Hope this helps, I am sorry not to be able to help you more..
